Eschatology or 'Last' Things: a Semantically Sound Sound Poem

Action Hero. Boy Scout. (Fine.)
Chance Saloon. My Duchess. (Mine!)
Exit (which?) to Brooklyn. (‘Hood.)

Ice Age. Judgement. (Pray it’s deft.)
King of Scotland.  Leaf.  Mohican.
Name. Of Sheila. (Hey! No peekin’!)

Picture Show. The Quarter. Rites.
Supper (‘bout which Matthew writes).
Tango. (Halifax or Paris.)

Year at Marienbad? (Too long.)
Zulu. Done! (Or am I wrong?)
